Doug Jones releases campaign ad urging Alabamians to wear masks, social distance — ‘Our health depends on each other’

U.S. Senator Doug Jones’ (D-AL) 2020 reelection campaign on Wednesday posted a new video ad entitled, “For Each Other.”

The 30-second spot encourages Alabamians to wear masks and social distance amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Jones narrates the entire ad himself, saying, “The COVID crisis has shown how our health depends on each other, on our neighbors, our loved ones, our co-workers.”

“Wearing masks and social distancing is about protecting each other, our parents and grandparents, the friend who has diabetes or a heart condition we didn’t know about, the front-line workers who put themselves at risk, and so our small businesses open safely and get our economy moving,” he continues.

“[I]n Alabama, we do this for each other,” the senator concludes, while putting on a mask.

Watch:

This comes after Jones last week released his first TV ad of the cycle; that spot centered on racial justice in the wake of George Floyd’s death while in Minneapolis police custody.

The Jones campaign is currently running TV ads across all of the state’s media markets. Public FCC filings showed that “For Each Other” was at least scheduled to traffic for a portion of Jones’ latest ad buy.
